Quotes"Republicans
need to stop making assumptions, and they need to start talking to
younger people,
people of color, and ask them--not talk to them--ask them, What
is it that we can do better?
How do we earn your vote? How do we earn the ability for you to
see that we can be the party
that will make your life better and that of your children?" -- New Mexico Governor
Susana Martinez, (R-Sane) proving how
out-of-touch she is with the party of snarling dogs

On Friday the
Republican
politicians who had so angrily demanded the testimony of David Petraeus
about Benghazi got what they wanted - and what they deserved - when the
former CIA director set
forth the facts proving that their conspiracy theories and witch-hunts
are dead wrong.

When the session concluded, Petraeus was spirited away. And Senator
John McCain (R-Depends),
whose criticism of the Obama administration over Benghazi has verged on
hysterical, emerged from
the hearing room with very little to say to the reporters waiting
outside.

I don't under stand why McCain
is so
hysterical over this.
I heard 12 hours of CNN/MSNBC Friday and nobody there has a clue,
either.

The
explanation might be as simple as McCain wants
to get a head start on Biggest Asshole of 2013.

Link“We’ve lost the country. We’re
outnumbered and we are losing ground.” So railed flaming
gasbag Rush Limbaugh after Obama put Romney on the roof of his limo.
Limbaugh, the lying,
Nazi whore, was ready to start gobbling pills again when Obama won
handily in both the
electoral and popular ass klicking.

While many on the right engaged in hand-wringing and hissy fits after
Romney's reaming at
the polls, GOP strategist Alex Castellanos warned of “a repudiation of
the Republican party”
and crazy handjob Bill Kristol conceded that “it won’t kill the
country” if taxes are raised on
American millionaires and billionaires.

Nothing personal, but try straightening out your own state's problems

Some of us who live here work very hard every election to either keep

Right now, I don't know who's worse, your Gov. Bone Finguhhhh, or our

LinkIn the wake of the GOP’s
Election
Day beatdown, influential Republican senators say
enough’s enough: Party leaders need to put the kibosh on the kind of
savage primaries
that yielded candidates like Todd "legitimate rape" Akin — and crippled
Republican
prospects of taking the Senate in two straight election cycles.

It’s time, they say, for Washington bosses to be more assertive about
recruiting and then
defending promising candidates. They argue that it’s critical to start
enlisting local conservative
activists as allies and to ease the tea party versus Washington dynamic
that’s wreaked havoc on the party.

All easier said than done, of course. Tea party types have relished
showing the chosen
candidates of the Washington establishment a thing or two — and it’s
hard to see them
laying down arms overnight. But after a sure-bet election in 2012
turned into an electoral
disaster, Republicans say resolving their primary problem is, well,
their primary problem.

So, the inside-the-beltway GOP brass know your area better
than you do?

Yes, Hostess has asked to "go out of business" and have an asset sale
where they
sell off everything the company owns--including brand names--for
pennies on the dollar.

What do you want to bet the CEO, together with whoever has been funding
his obscenely
high salary, shows up and buys all the corporate assets, to use them at
a "new" company?

Believe it or not, there are actually businesses that have this as
their business plan;
they start out, make money, pay their top officers well, accrue debt,
increase their officers' salaries, then go bankrupt (canceling their
debts).

They then show up at the asset sale and buy back everything for around
10% of its value, and start a new company doing the exact same thing.

Obviously, either the corporate bankruptcy laws need to be changed or
the Supreme
Court needs to rescind its rulings that corporations have the same
rights as people.

Gingrich: "Romney is
nuts"LinkLike
several other prominent Republicans, Newt the serial adulterer slammed
Mitt Romney's
assertion in a conference call with donors last week that he lost the
election because of "gifts"
Obama gave to blacks, Hispanics and younger voters during his first
term in the White House.

"It's nuts," Gingrich admitted on ABC's "This Whore" with Judas
Maximus.
"First of all, it's insulting. This would be like Wal-Mart having a bad
week and going,
'The customers have really been unruly.' I mean, the job of a political
leader in part is to
understand the people. If we can't offer a better future that is
believable to more people,
we're not going to win."

Last week, the cheating nutjob admitted he was "dumbfounded" by Obama's
victory
--and Romney's poor performance at the polls.

LinkA gun store-sponsored competition in
which hunters shoot and kill as many coyotes as they can
has sparked outrage among activists in New Mexico who have called it a
"heinous killing contest."

Animal Protection of New Mexico posted a petition on its website,
rallying against the contest,
which is sponsored by Gunhawk Firearms of Los Lunas.

"The organizers of the contest have consistently claimed that any
criticism of this event is an
infringement upon gun-ownership rights and hunting privileges," Animal
Protection of New Mexico
wrote on its website. "However, on our petition against the contest,
over a third of signees have
self-identified as gun owners, and a tenth are hunters or anglers."

Mark Chavez, owner of Gunhawk Firearms says he planned to destroy 50
coyotes and sell the pelts
for $50 each, with the money going to a scholarship fund for some
unnamed "agriculture student."

"This is not a waste,"
Chavez
alleged. "I would like to raise about $2,500.
I think that would be a nice scholarship for someone."

Well sure, poacher, that makes your random killings not a waste.
Then tomorrow you could kill some snow leopards and sell their coats.

Semi-good news. Got
the bill from the Mayo clinic for the spine
surgery and the insurance
covered nearly everything. So I have an
extra $250 to donate. LETS DO THIS: I will match anyones donation up
to that amount in the next 10 days.

That should get folks attention
and maybe move them to get going.
I do all donations anonymously. So
just say I am just a long time fan.

You have done a great job inspiring all
of us out here in the informed
electorate.
I tell everyone of my friends about your site. BTW, good
idea of the Amazon tie in.

I will send the $250 by
Paypal in the next few days.

Keep hammering and hang in
there, you are an inspiration to
the majority of the sane folks out here on the internet.Long time fan

Long time fan - thanks for that.
That's the biggest donation I've had in many years.

Fundraiser to Keep
Bartcop.com GoingIt's been a while since
we had a fund-raiser.
Subscribers are way off, donations are way down, but we still have a
lot of readers.

Back in the old days, when people had jobs, we raised $6,000 once.
Today, I'd be satisfied with a $2,000
fund-raiser.

(It kills me to see other Lefty sites appeal for money: "We need
$30,000 by Friday - can you help?")
Bartcop.com is worth saving, right?

Times are tough, and I realize people can't contribute like they used to
but I'd already be gone if it wasn't for Mrs. Bart kicking in her
paycheck.

Even the purchases on Amazon.com
are down - waaaay down.
Hopefiully that'll pick up some as Christmas gets closer so I think
Amazon
is my best chance of staying on the web - at least that's a temporary
fix.

PLEASE remember to use the Amazon link when you shop online.

I can make it till the end of the year, and since Amazon pays two
months late,
I can see me staying alive until late February, but I can't make it
thru
next year
on what's been coming in lately.

you can think of a way to save Bartcop.comSend

If you think bartcop.com
is
worth saving, please try to kick in a few dollars.

won't disappear suddenly.
We might end up doing a "Last 90 days

Karl
Rove, big
fat ...criminal? LinkThe non-partisan Citizens for
Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) filed complaints
Thursday with both the FEC and the FBI alleging that Karl Rove and his
bullshit Crossroads GPS
violated election law and may have engaged in a criminal conspiracy to
do so.

Under campaign finance law and FEC regulations, 501(c)(4) groups, like
Crossroads GPS, can raise
unlimited funds from wealthy individuals and corporations without
having to disclose their donors.
The only time donors to these secretive groups must be disclosed is
when donors give more than
$200 explicitly "for the purpose of furthering an independent
expenditure."

According to CREW, Rove expressly asked for and received millions of
dollars in contributions
specifically to fund an independent expenditure effort in support of
Ohio loser Rethug Josh Mandel:

Tara Malloy, senior counsel at the Campaign Legal Center, told
ThinkProgress:
"The allegations are troubling… One would hope the FEC might
investigate this matter."

Crossroads GPS may also be in hot water for its apparent failure
to register as a charity in Virginia, as required by law.

Best way to handle? Throw that
bastard Rove behind bars until authorities
can list and catagorize his
crimes to see which charges need to be filed.

That's Rolling Stone Brian Jones and
Jimi Hendrix at Monterey Pop, June 1967.
I was there, saw Brian introduce Jimi's Experience, and was totally
mind-blown by
the performance and Jimi burning his guitar at the end of Wild
Thing.

I actually also saw them walking together too, with the crowd creating
a space around them like the bigger than life idols they were.

I always wondered what real beer drinker Brian thought of that
Budweiser he had.

Bart, here's $50 for your fundraiser.
Sheesh, if you can find only 119 more people to donate $50, you'll have
$6,000.
Surely there are that many people who can afford it as a
token of
gratitude for getting us through the Bush years??
